Vitor Belfort, who takes this fight on short notice as he steps in for Lyoto Machida, who actually turned down the title shot against Jon jones. Belfort was originally set to face Alan Belfort at UFC 153, now looks to build off of a UFC 142 victory over Anthony Johnson. Jones will be competing for the first time since UFC 145, but faces plenty of hatred following the cancellation of the original UFC 151. UFC 151 takes place on September 22nd at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada with Jon Jones and Vitor Belfort headlining.
